Lab: SAST and secrets pack. $DEVSEC_LAB only. Original Cyberlium.

Opening

SAST pack merges static analysis to secrets to hygiene — paperwork before DAST module.

Lessons 4-1–4-3 named SAST, Gitleaks, and secret hygiene. This lab merges three sections into one $DEVSEC_LAB SAST artifact with M1 ethics and M3 pipeline cross-references. No stranger-org scans or live credential dumps — SAST and secrets paperwork only. Next: Quiz — SAST and Secrets.

1. Lab contract: SAST and secrets pack

Create $HOME/cyberlium-lab/t36-m04-l04-sast-lab.txt merging SAST named, Gitleaks named, and secret hygiene sections with $DEVSEC_LAB fictional repo and M1/M3 cross-references.

Optional: link SAST gate to pipeline pack from M3.

═══ INSTALL ═══

Linux (Debian/Ubuntu):

Command — copy this

pipx install checkov

macOS:

Command — copy this

pip install checkov

═══ LINUX / macOS ═══

Command — copy this

export DEVSEC_LAB=${DEVSEC_LAB:-$HOME/cyberlium-lab/t36-devsec}
cat > "$DEVSEC_LAB/notes/iac-scan-lab-summary.md" <<'EOF'
# IaC Scan Lab Summary — YOUR lab
- main.tf: intentional S3 + SG misconfigs (never apply to real AWS)
- checkov -f main.tf — document FAILED checks
- Remediation literacy: enable public access block; restrict SG CIDR
## Refusals
- No terraform apply on stranger accounts; scan YOUR files only
EOF

Command — copy this

grep -E 'main.tf|Refusals|Remediation' "$DEVSEC_LAB/notes/iac-scan-lab-summary.md"
grep -E 'aws_s3|aws_security_group' "$DEVSEC_IAC/main.tf"
ls "$DEVSEC_IAC/"

═══ WINDOWS ═══

Command — copy this

Primary tools to practice this lesson: grep, checkov. Reference sites: Bridgecrew Checkov (https://www.checkov.io/); CISA Secure by Design (https://www.cisa.gov/securebydesign); NIST SSDF PW.4 (https://csrc.nist.gov/Projects/ssdf). Run every command in the box — install first, then the usage lines — only on YOUR lab / program scope.

2. Cross-check ethics

Grep for live API keys, stranger org repo URLs, production PATs — remove. Confirm all secrets are $DEVSEC_LAB placeholders.

SAST examples use fictional vulnerable patterns — no real exploit targets.

3. Lock the proof

chmod 600 on the pack. Quiz next — then DAST Named.

SAST literacy feeds DAST lessons in M5.

4. What you ship: SAST and secrets pack for $DEVSEC_LAB

Merged SAST, Gitleaks, hygiene sections. $DEVSEC_LAB named. NO stranger scans. chmod 600.

5. What you record before the next lesson

Date. SAST pack path. $DEVSEC_LAB named. File t36-m04-l04-sast-lab.txt chmod 600.

6. Wrong vs right: stranger orgs vs YOUR repos

Worked failure — same MSF word, opposite target. Right never needs a café Wi-Fi or classmate laptop.

  • Wrong

    Include live AWS keys in pack. Skip Gitleaks section.

  • Right

    Write YOUR SAST and secrets pack for $DEVSEC_LAB. chmod 600. Next: Quiz — SAST and Secrets.

Mission: freeze YOUR SAST and secrets pack on disk

1) Merge M4 literacy sections. 2) Confirm placeholder secrets only. 3) Link M1/M3 cross-refs. 4) chmod 600.
